They were moments of surprise and startle those vivierron in downtown Merlo last
Sunday afternoon,
when a Ford Mustang
out of control
ended up
hitting front
against a lamppost and climbing on the sidewalk
.
By a miracle, there were no casualties and the only year was the one that the expensive vehicle suffered.
The accident occurred at the
intersection of Victoriano Loza street with Calle Real avenue
, just over a kilometer from the Merlo train station, the Sarmiento line railway, and just one kilometer from the Eva Perón Municipal Hospital.
According to sources in the case,
the driver
of the Mustang, a
22-year-old young man
who was identified as
Jonathan Díaz
,
would have lost control
of the high-end vehicle "after performing
a bad maneuver
" to end up hitting one of the light poles head-on from the block, in the first instance.
This is how the Mustang was left, which took a pole in the center of Merlo.
Later, the car
also hit the front of a shop
that was closed and with the blinds down.
The postcard of that moment, with
the post on top of the hood and windshield
, went viral on social networks in the last hours.
Despite the heavy collision, which culminated in a large part of the car's trunk smashed, there were no casualties.
The young man who was driving
suffered some blows
and was
assisted on the spot
by Civil Defense personnel from the Commune and by the Volunteer Firefighters.
The injuries he suffered were not serious, so he did not require a transfer to any health center.
The car ended up at the 1st Police Station in Merlo.

The
Ford Mustang
, as specified by the same company, became the
best-selling sports car in
the last year even despite the coronavirus pandemic.
There were 80,577 global sales made
in 2020
, according to the most recent IHS Markit vehicle data registry.
In Argentina, the price of the car is
approximately $ 95,000
.
The GT model has a ten-speed transmission and a five-liter V8 engine with four valves per cylinder and variable valve timing.
Those characteristics allow it to offer a maximum power of 466 horsepower at 7,000 revolutions with a maximum torque of 569 Newton meters (NM) at 4600 revolutions per minute.
Tragedy in Tigre
On the same Sunday of the episode in Merlo, but during the early morning and in Tigre,
another luxury car
also
driven by a young man
starred in an accident that did
end in tragedy
.
Joaquín Duhalde Bisi (19), who was at the wheel of an
Audi A4
, also lost control of the vehicle -which is owned by his father- on the
Camino de los Remeros
and
killed two of his three friends
who were traveling with him in the vehicle.
The driver, who
survived the shocking collision
with a metal signaling column and ended up tearing off the guardrail, was driving without registration (he had been seized for not having the Vehicle Technical Verification up to date) and with 1.39 grams of alcohol in his blood, almost triple what is allowed by law. He
remains in detention
after it was found that he only suffered minor injuries.
